Keyboard Operating Platform
The CS82U / CS84U’s default port configuration is for a PC compatible keyboard operating platform.

The procedure is as follows:
1.Bring the KVM focus to the port you want to set.
2.Invoke HSM (see page 17)
3.Press and release the appropriate Function key (see table below). After completing this procedure, you automatically exit HSM.
